Today, my professor told everyone that he thinks all med students should be required to get a catheter and an enema at least once in their lives so they can relate to their patients, saying, "Gentlemen, it might change your lives." FML

Today, at a gynecologist's appointment, I was privileged to have 7 co-ed nursing students stare at my vagina for 25 minutes as part of their training. At one point the doctor apologized for having to "open me up more than usual", but said she wanted everyone to get a good view. FML

Today, my doctor booked me in for an STI test. I was feeling confident until he explained it will involve having a catheter inserted into my piss pipe. He shook his head sadly and said, "Gonna be honest Steve, the pain's beyond belief." Great. FML

Today, working as an EMT on an ambulance, we had a patient who refused to accept that he had a massive GI bleed, despite the fact that bloody stool was flowing from his anus all over my ambulance. To make things worse, my EMT ride-along student puked all over the patient. FML

Today, I sat next to this really hot guy in my writing class. We struck up a conversation, and it was going well, until he began describing, in excruciating detail, his IBS and fiber problems, and how he always has to poop. Good to know. FML

Today, my professor tried to scare the hiccups out of me. Some pee came out instead. FML

Today, I attended my first surgery as part of my program at med school. I found out that when I see someone's intestines, I vomit. Even if I'm still wearing a surgical mask. There goes the thousands of dollars I spent on college. FML

Today, I was admitted to the hospital for chronic constipation. I have to share a room with two other girls who are also having bowel problems. We're all on strong laxatives, and there's apparently only one bathroom in this place. FML

Today, at the age of 25, for the first time in my life, I was lying mostly naked in front of a man while he was inserting something in my body. Too bad that man was a doctor and that thing was a colonoscopy. FML

Today, during my first day as a medical intern in a new ward, I was performing a rectal exam. My supervisor thought it would be funny to burst into the room and scream, "Who are you?! You don't even work here, you pervert!" FML

Having experienced both and seeing how completely unsympathetic my doctors were to pain and discomfort I agree with him.

Your professor is not exactly wrong.

To be fair, police in AUS are sprayed with pepper/capsicum spray as a part of training

How dare your prof try to make you aware of empathy. Those procedures are uncomfortable, often painful and remove any dignity you have. Compassion and sensitivity have no place in medicine and anything that might teach you either is unacceptable.... just kidding. You're an idiot.

So it would be like how an optometrist has to put contacts in once to give advice to patients?

Enemas are awesome!

Maybe the OP is referring to the sexist language. Since the OP is a woman and the prof said gentlemen. That would be really picky though.

Okay Jesus Christ. For all of you who don't know what catheters or enemas are and don't want to google it, here you go: Catheters are small tubes that go up your urethra (pee hole) and into your bladder so you can expel urine. Enemas basically clean your rectum and colon and prepare them for procedures such as a colonoscopy. Some people have them for cosmetic reasons, strangely enough.
